Nostalgia gone wrong

Harper's always been a very nostalgic girl. She easily grows attached to things that remind her of past events or memories. This would include rocks (or even cactuses) that she would put in her pocket from hikes. So much so that she had to be limited to one container of memorabilia (that container eventually overflowed into a couple more but that's okay).

The other day she was finally cleaning out these containers and going through things she had collected over the years that were significant to her. 


There were lots of things you'd expect; several journals and diaries. Even the body of an apple head doll she had made.







However, here are some of the more interesting things that she has held on to for years. WARNING: It gets a little weird.


Her criminal mischief charges from Utah State Second District Utah Court. Luckily, she got off with no jail time.


All the phones she's ever owned (and destroyed). Mind you, she's only 18 and didn't have a phone until she was 15. It's a lot of phones.

This is a scrap of carpet left over from the remodel of the Bountiful tabernacle where she has gone to church all her life.

This is the uncleaned food bowl of Zoey; the dog we had before Tucker.
